Hype and hardware sales exist independently of advertising and software sales though. A game can sell without being a big system seller, and a game can be advertised extensively without generating hype among consumers.

so strong preorders dont count as people being hyped for a game? strong hardware sales leading up to a highly advertised games release dont count as moving hardware? ok buddy.

i used concrete data to support my side now lets see you do the same thing. provide a single bit of evidence that suggests there is no hype or it wont sell systems.

A lot of existing Switch owners want to play on their new system besides Zelda, doesn't necessarily mean any sizeable portion of Switch sales are being driven by Mario Kart itself. Ports like Mario Maker 3DS and Master Chief Collection sold well to existing owners but did not significantly spur hardware sales.

But we're clearly going to continue to disagree so we might as well just leave it here.
